what it doesn't do is address medicare. and yet the ryan compromise is on the table. so those are the things i would start with. but importantly, just having an expense reduction and trying to rein in our deficit isn't going to solve any of our future problems, and certainly not entitlement. you've got to create a growth commission. and what the growth commission would do is to determine what is needed, what are the -- what's the environment needed to cause our gdp to grow at 3% to 4% instead of 1% to 2%. and they would address things like tax reform, education, immigration, all things that effect the economy. thirdly, there's $1.5 trillion overseas as we know on corporate balance sheets that's not going to come to the united states unless we allow it to come at less than 35% tax rate. what i would do is have a 10% surcharge to bring that money back home. >> is that a one-time holiday? >> i'll get to that. and that would bring in immediately $100 billion to $150 billion which should only be used to reduce the deficit. but i would then permanently put in and tell the g

let's keep medicare... and social security strong for generations to come. a deep, throbbing, persistent ache. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia, thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. and for some people, it can work in as early as the first week of treatment. so now i can do more of the things that i enjoy. lyrica is not for everyone. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior, or any swelling or affected breathing or skin, or changes in eyesight, including blurry vision or muscle pain with fever or tired feeling. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. with less pain, i'm feeling better
